Crash Out
Wesley Morrison is hockey’s most exciting disaster.
At twenty-three, the Boston Wardens’ breakout superstar is all highlight reels, bad decisions, and reckless talent. He plays like he’s invincible—and one bad hit away from proving he isn’t.
The team’s solution is Dr. Nathan Cross. Cold, controlled, and notoriously impossible to rattle, Nathan has spent years keeping professional athletes alive, functional, and far away from his personal life.
Then there’s Wes. The young superstar shrugs off injuries and treats every fight with Nathan like a challenge he’s determined to win.
The more time Nathan spends trying to keep Wes alive, the harder it becomes to remember where professional concern ends and something far more reckless begins.
Nathan’s entire life is built on control, but Wesley Morrison has been crashing into things his whole life.
Nathan Cross is the first person who didn’t move out of the way.

4.5⭐️
I was so excited to read this, I loved the little chaotic snippets of Morrison that we got to see in Damage Control and was so happy to have a full story about him. It didn’t disappoint at all, it’s such a gorgeous soft love story and I really enjoyed it.
I particularly enjoyed that this is about a quiet love, full of steadiness and showing up rather than the big flashy moments. Obviously I loved Wesley and Nathan, particularly the way Wes slowly gets to understand Nathan and see behind his calm exterior to the smitten fool inside. I also really enjoyed the brother relationship with Dylan and I’m hoping the next in the series will be his story. Also the little moments of Knox that we get here, in his full angry glory were wonderful to see.

This book feels entirely different than Damage Control. The MCs are completely different, the mc is a little bit like the MC of the last one, but only superficially. The tone is different, the emotional pace is different, but both tone and pace are good. This is good writing.
Even though this is single POV, the pacing alternates between Wesley’s freneticism and Nathan’s stoicism, and it keeps things moving really well. And when I say Wesley’s freneticism – Wesley is to golden retrievers what golden retrievers are to the rest of us.
I hope we get Dylan’s story next, although I hope we get Jenkins’ story at some point too.
Lucy Noran is a must read.
